Chapter Ninety-Five: The Silent Monk
The book continued from the above, and the last book said that Li Tianxin and the old madman accidentally heard the conversation between the two monks patrolling the mountain in the temple in the forest of Faning Temple, and learned that a monk named Silent saw the murderer committing the murder, but the host of Faning Temple concealed the matter. After Zhu Zhu quickly found his theory, Zhu Zhi knew that he was at a loss and took the three of them to the silent meditation room. As a result, it led to rumors that it is difficult to deal with, the murderer first appeared, the evidence was conclusive, and the conviction was not in a hurry!
In the small meditation room, there were many people around. In addition to the three Tianxin people who handled the case, there were also many monks in Faning Temple. Seeing this, the abbot looked at the disciple who was in charge of the disciples next to him, and the idiot hurriedly dismissed, and only a few of them were left behind among the disciples who were watching.
"Three donors, if you have anything to say, just ask him, but he was extremely frightened by the silence, and now he is talking upside down, so please don't be too direct..."
"Master of Addiction, please rest assured, we will naturally not be embarrassed by silence." The old madman was polite, he looked in, nestled in the corner, shivering in silence.
Silence's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at everyone with a frightened face, and kept babbling in his mouth. "No, don't kill me. You... Don't come here! β
Tianxin saw that the silence looked like this, where was there still a trace of reason, and she couldn't help but sigh. "I don't think we can ask anything about him now..."
Where is Zhu Ran willing to let go of the only human witness at present, you must know that the master is limited to them to solve the case within three days, and now it is the second day, he still has no clue, what time can he wait. "I can't care about that much!"
Seeing Zhu Ran, Silence approached his side violently, shouting while picking up the surrounding things and smashing them towards Zhu Ran. It's called a tragedy, as if Zhu Ran is a heinous monster who wants to take his life at this moment. "Don't kill me, my flesh and blood are not delicious, don't come here, the Buddha save me, the Buddha save me!"
"Now in broad daylight, where are there any monsters, don't scare yourself, cheer up quickly, and tell the appearance and identity of the suspect, so as to avenge the dead people!"
"I don't know, I don't know, help, help!" Silence didn't listen to Zhu Ran's words at all, covered his ears, and shrank in the corner.
Li Tianxin looked at Zhu Ran and forcibly turned the silent body over, which can be said to have taken a lot of effort. And Silent still kept crying, and even moved his hands, as if either you are dead or I am alive. It was not so much that the two were fighting against each other, but that it was a shrew fighting, and Zhu Ran's official hat was all silenced, and the scene was very embarrassing. Although she understands Zhu Ran's eagerness to solve the case, but in the current quiet situation, I am afraid that she is really crazy.
"I wish my lord, my junior brother is really crazy... You're only going to irritate him...", I couldn't bear it, and finally opened my mouth. "My junior brother has been living a hard life since he was a child, and my master snatched it from the woods, under the wolf's mouth. Silent temperament is weak, but he is also strong in schoolwork, I thought he could change his fate, who would want to encounter such a disaster again, and please donor, for the sake of the Buddha, let him go. Amitabha. β
"But his testimony is the key to this case, so far, only he has seen the face of the suspect, how can you tell me to let him go!" Zhu Ran is not a strong person, but this matter is really not negotiable, he must pry open the silent mouth and find out the truth.
"I wish you a quick catch, please don't be embarrassed anymore and be silent, he is like this now, I'm afraid he really can't ask anything..." Since he's already crazy, can he stop this matter? β
"Yes, Zhu Ye, I think about this, we need to think about it in the long run, you are torturing him now, and he will not tell you anything." The old madman, who was standing behind everyone and had not spoken, suddenly opened his mouth. "Why don't you follow the host and the master of quitting idiots, go to the canteen to have some fasting, and calm down. I'm here to talk to this silent master, and maybe he will see that I am young and harmless, and he will confide in him for a while, maybe he will talk about it! β
"What the little Taoist chief said is reasonable, several donors have not yet had breakfast, as the saying goes, knowing that special rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. Why don't you go with the old man to eat some light snacks, wait until you have the spirit, and then come back to ask later? The old monk was very grateful when he saw that the white-haired young man had given him a step.
"Yes, our fasting rice in Faning Temple is still good, today the kitchen has prepared steamed dumplings with vegetarian filling, and white rice porridge, as well as various vegetarian dishes, and please move a few people." Seeing that things were negotiable, he hurriedly changed the topic.
"This..."Zhu Ran frowned, he looked at the old madman. Little brother, do you have a solution? β
"I wish you rest assured, the poor road has its own way." The old madman nodded to Zhu Ran, signaling him to rest assured.
"In that case, I'll wait for good news in the future." Since Zhu Ran had seen the old madman's ability, he trusted his ability very much, and after getting the old madman's answer, he turned around without hesitation and retreated to the side. "Master of Addiction, I'm tired."
"Donor, please." The idiot hurriedly opened the door curtain, opened the door of the meditation room, and the breeze blew in, which eased the atmosphere a lot.
Li Tianxin looked at the old madman suspiciously, she didn't believe in any young and harmless nonsense. Tianxin wondered if he was going to use some kind of Qianshan spell to make Silence speak, so driven by curiosity, Tianxin had no intention of leaving.
The old madman saw Li Tianxin standing still, so he walked up to her and pointed to the door. "Senior sister, you can also go to dinner together, eat more for me."
"Senior sister, don't worry that you are here alone, I should stay with you." Li Tianxin didn't want to miss the next good show, and he looked like he couldn't move.
"Senior sister is disobedient again." The old madman's tone sounded very spoiled at first glance, but only Li Tianxin understood the meaning. Because every time the old madman said this sentence in such a tone, it was when she Li Tianxin was ready to be hammered.
Li Tianxin knew that he couldn't provoke the old madman, so he followed the host very consciously, quit the idiot and Zhu Ran and left the meditation room. Before leaving, she pretended to be reluctant, trying to awaken the old madman's unquenched conscience, but the old madman just gave her a look that came less. Tianxin snorted, no longer nostalgic, and lowered the curtain.
The old madman who was left alone looked at the silent monk with a defensive face and showed a hint of a smile. About half an hour later, the old madman stood at the table and poured himself a cup of tea. He carefully recalled the fragments in the memory of the silent monk just now, the murderer's own cultivation was magical, why didn't he destroy the body of this skin, but left it at the scene of the crime? According to the situation at the time, he had every chance to kill Silence as well, but why should he be left alive? Is the murderer's motive for killing really that simple? I always feel that the evidence I got in front of me is too obvious, isn't it too easy?
Here, Li Tianxin had already finished breakfast, and at the moment, she was sitting on the roof of the monk's temple bored, looking at the busy monks below. To be honest, she would rather sit here in a daze than listen to the old monk talk about Zen with Zhu Ran, Li Tianxin is somewhat a pragmatist, and he is not too interested in those ethereal things. It's not that high-level of understanding, and it's able to penetrate the mysteries. In Tianxin's view, anything that can see through Hongchen is nonsense, Hongchen doesn't need to be seen through in the first place, because it is particularly broken, why bother to compete with it every day?
"Why are you sitting here alone, Zhu Ran?" The old madman sat down beside her at some point.
"He went to listen to the old monk's fool." Li Tianxin has long been used to the problem of old madmen coming and going without a trace, so she didn't make a fuss. But she still wanted to know very much about what Silence had said, and Tianxin turned her head and looked at the old madman with burning eyes. "How's it going? Who is the murderer? β
The old madman couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Tianxin's burning eyes. "If you keep an eye on me like this, I'll be going to have my hair on the verge of that."
"I'm so serious, don't make trouble. Who exactly is the murderer? Where does Li Tianxin have the leisure to quarrel with the old madman, at this moment she just wants to know who the murderer is who the silence sees.
"Silence said that it was too dark that night, and the murderer turned his back to him and didn't see clearly." The old madman's face did not change when he answered, and his heart did not beat.
"Huh? Tossed for a long time and didn't see anything? "Li Tianxin always felt that the old madman didn't tell the truth." How do you ask? The silence is stupid, not afraid that he is talking nonsense? β
"What? Are you questioning me? The old madman obviously didn't want to explain too much to Tianxin, otherwise he would have to be tortured to death by this girl's 100,000 whys.
β... How dare I question you..."Thinking of the old madman before, the black hand in the fight with her, she gritted her teeth and confessed in seconds.
"It's best if you don't dare, or I'll clean you up when you go back carefully! Let's go, let's go and have a round with Zhu Ran, the next stop should be even more exciting. The old madman's eyes flashed slightly.
After the three of them discussed, they said goodbye to the monks of Faning Temple, and finally rushed back to Cangsong Town before noon.
"Little brother, shouldn't we go to Zhilan Academy this time?" Zhu Ran still has a deep obsession with the academy, and in his opinion, that Ziyu is the murderer.
"No, no. We haven't asked about this matter yet. The old madman rode his horse and pointed to a mansion at the end of the long street. Let's go to the General's Palace! β
"Thisβ" Zhu Ran hesitated. Princess Fengyang will get married in a few days, let's go to investigate the murder case now, isn't it a bit unlucky? β
"Haha, Zhu Ye, are you cowardly?" Li Tianxin laughed unkindly. "Afraid of angering the general? Chop off your head? β
"Where is Daochang Li, the general is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. I just don't want toβ"
"Where are so many things? Since the generals don't mind, what else are you embarrassed about? β
"Hey, it's all going to be off the head anyway, just go!"
